During the month of December, the 1st graders worked on comparing and comparing similar texts. The listened to two different versions of Gingerbread books. They listened, sang, and danced to The Gingerbread Man:a favorite story in rhythm and rhyme and listened to me read The Gingerbread Kid. We created a Venn diagram to list ways the stories were alike and how they were different.
During the months of October and November, the 1st graders will be working on:
-choosing "Just Right" books (ask them about the 5 Finger Rule)
-retelling stories
-creating a craft to go along with one of our stories
-creating a class book based on a book written by Jerry Pallotta
-reading and responding to books about being thankful
During the months of August and September, the students will be working on:
-Library rules and expectations
-how to use a shelf-marker
-how to take care of books at home and school
-how to check books out of the library
-the difference between the author and the illustrator
-making connections when reading (using prior knowledge)
-using picture clues
-letters vs. words. vs. sentences
-finding a "Just Right" book
August-March: First graders will be able to check out books from our Picture Book (fiction) and Non-Fiction sections. During the end of September we will be doing a lesson on finding "Just Right" books. At this time, students will be able to go to the Fiction section to see if they can find a book that is appropriate for them, around their level. There are plenty of chapter books and advanced level picture books in the Picture Book section. So, your child will have quite the variety.
